Chapter 1098 Chapter 1098: Palace Change (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]
The concubine who was the first to discover this was completely drained of blood.
He cast a frightened look at Mi.
In addition to her, the concubines who were close by also realized that something was wrong.
Immediately, cold sweat broke out, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled unnaturally. He swallowed hard, and used great concentration to suppress the scream that was approaching his throat: "...I was busy drinking with the sisters, and I forgot that every time Wei'er was at this point You have to rely on me, and I, as a mother, shouldn't do it. Ah Chuan, go to the side hall and see if Wei'er is making trouble, don't let this willful little devil hurt his limbs..."
She tried her best to look normal, smiled and joked with the sisters, turned around, and told the maid accompanying her to go to the side hall to check on the situation, conveying the meaning that only the master and servant knew. The maid grew up with her, and they had a good rapport. The surrounding concubines also secretly paid attention to her development, and nervously squeezed the veil.
The maid got up and went to the side hall.
A few people were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"ah-"
The sudden change occurred the moment the maid stepped through the palace door with one foot. She heard a short, sharp scream, and a column of bright red blood spurted out from the wound in front of her. The maid's body leaned back following the force of the attack, and her entire upper body was draped diagonally into two parts, with only a little flesh still connected. A pile of damaged organs lost the restraint of the skin and flowed out along the wound.
Warm blood pooled under the maid's body. She fell in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open, and the ultimate terror remained on her delicate face.
There are endless silk and bamboo orchestral music in the hall.
Most of the women didn’t notice what happened at the palace gate.
It wasn’t until a few screams were too sharp and another person started to slap the table that the commotion became louder and the musicians were so frightened that they stopped playing. Everyone looked at the person who stood up from the table. At this glance, they noticed the body of the maid lying at the door of the palace.
The almost detached death state of the corpse shocked their eyes.
Except for a few of the women here who come from relatively humble backgrounds, the rest are all from good families at worst, and quite a few of them were raised in a boudoir house during their childhood, and after they grew up, they became canaries in Wu Xian’s backyard! The wind and rain of troubled times are blocked outside the courtyard wall, and there are few opportunities to face **** scenes. But this doesn't mean that they will be frightened by a corpse, even if someone asks.
The question was asked by the person who took the crime: "What happened?"
The other party looked at Mi with suppressed anger. She was too lazy to maintain the false peace and asked loudly: "What happened? This question should not be asked to me, but to you! Mi, what are your intentions today? Why did you send someone to kill me?" maid?"
In his extreme anger, he even stopped using his honorific title.
Mi didn't show any offended anger, nor did she feel guilty about being caught. She was still as gentle as water that everyone was familiar with, but what she said made people shudder: "Ah? It turns out that she is my sister's maid. It was really a misunderstanding." . It’s also because of her sneaky behavior that she was misunderstood as an assassin. As you sisters know, the country is in turmoil right now, the king is behind bars, and there are countless pairs of malicious eyes in the darkness. I am also worried that the bad guys will harm the palace. Young and middle-aged children have to be vigilant.”
Even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe this excuse.
That maid was born in a family that had served concubines since she was a child. Later, she was promoted to a first-class maid and entered Wu Xian's house as a dowry. On weekdays, when the sisters visit each other, she always follows her master, and she looks familiar every time she goes there. Not only her, but also the concubines who are well-liked and favored, all the concubines around her are unlikely to be mistaken for the villain!
This is not manslaughter at all, it is clearly murder!
Mi Shi has been holding the power of the inner court for these years and is familiar with the people in the palace. How could she not know the eldest maid next to her concubines?
This is definitely talking nonsense with open eyes!
“Mi, what nonsense are you talking about!”
This response obviously did not satisfy the victimized concubine.
She was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and her movements were so big that she messed up Yun Zhucui's temples. Her anger was still rising: "I just asked her to go to the side hall to see Bian'er. How can you be so sneaky? Why are you so You are vicious and want to kill someone like this in public? I really misjudged you, you are really a barking dog that doesn’t bite people, a beast that can’t bark and one bite will kill someone!"
She usually looks down on Mi.
Even if Wu Xian arranged for her to be plated with gold in Xu Jie's mansion for the sake of good looks, and assumed the identity of an orphaned daughter of a distant relative of the Xu family, the Mi family would not be too hated. Firstly, she was born in a humble background and was a dancing girl; secondly, Mi was timid and timid, so soft-tempered that she had almost no temper, and could only be gentle and petty; thirdly, Mi was not the most favored woman, and Wu Xian was in the Mi family The favor here only accounts for 20% at most, and she often persuades Wu Xian to take advantage of it.
Especially after Wu Xian founded the country, Mi helped the queen manage the inner court. Every time Wu Xian came to the inner court to rest, she would arrange it well, even for the most unpopular concubines. Wu Xian's descendants have also experienced a blowout in recent years.
Nearly every woman in the inner court had one or more children.
Mi is generous and fair, and everyone admires her.
As time goes by, even those who dislike Mi will have to admit that Mi has done a more competent job than the queen and queen in recent years. It's not that the first queen suppressed any woman, or that she murdered any child, but that Mi was more humane than the first queen... If Mi didn't have enough family power to back her up, she would have been Wu Xianli's only candidate. .
Although I admit it, I still look down on it in my heart.
The concubine who was victimized this time is one of them.
He looked down upon Mi, but he took advantage of her and became pregnant twice.
Mi said: "You've drunk too much. Please wake up."
It is an understatement, but it makes people feel frightened.
"Didn't any of the waiters see it? You ladies are drunk now! You started talking nonsense!" Mrs. Mi pressed the cup in her hand heavily on the table and made a muffled sound when it touched the velvet cloth. "If it disturbs the nobles here, Your lives are not enough to compensate!”
“Mi, what did you do to Wei’er!”
This question has made everyone’s hearts hang.
Everyone here is not a brainless person. When they saw this posture, they guessed that today's situation was not going to be a dead end and a maid could stop it. Then when they thought about the silence in the side hall, the concubines who came to the banquet with their children were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their minds were racing. Countless **** scenes passed by like watching a lantern. Each frame showed severed limbs and broken arms lying in a pool of blood, as well as a child's head with the facial features of their child!
Mi's wife: "Bian'er is very good and was coaxed to sleep by her wet nurse."
Her voice is still gentle and gentle.
The next sentence changed, and the words he spat out were like poisonous snakes crawling on the backs and necks of the girls, crawling to their ears and spitting out snake messages: "However, if you are still drunk and unwilling to sober up, why don't you drink some soothing soup and have a good night's sleep? ”
The implication is that you may have a good sleep for a lifetime.
Inside the palace, you can hear a needle drop.
The concubine who was relatively close to the palace gate noticed that many guards were reflected outside the window, far exceeding the scale that should be required to guard a palace. Judging from the figures, they are all wearing armor and carrying soldiers, wearing strong weapons and weapons, and are fully armed! This is a Hongmen Banquet!
“Mrs. Mi, what are you doing?”
The concubine who was seated closest to Mi spoke.
Mi said: "Please all the sisters gather together in the palace for a night."
After speaking, she smiled and clapped her hands.
Order the musicians to continue playing.
Two burly and muscular warrior guards also quietly came in, and each of them carried half of the maid's body away. The hanging organs left dirty traces on the ground. Several people who witnessed this scene had their throats spasmed, and the strong urge to vomit continued.
“Getting together for a night? Do you want to rebel and bloodbath the palace?”
"It doesn't have to be a bloodbath." Mi Shi still smiled gently and harmlessly, "Sisters, you don't know the worldly affairs. These people below clean a palace, and it will take hundreds of jars of water."
Even if the blood of everyone here is drained, it won’t be enough to clean them. Even though it was a joke, no one laughed.
Mi, she is really determined to kill everyone.
The window reflects the longing shadows of people.
The concubine who was choked first glanced sideways at Mi, then suddenly stood up and exploded, grabbing a delicate porcelain plate and smashing it into pieces, then picked up the largest and sharpest fragment and pointed it at Mi. A series of actions could not hide her nobility. Her red lips were slightly parted, her beautiful eyes full of sarcasm, and she looked directly into Mi's eyes: "Haha, it's enough to just make it happen and save the people below. I just don't know if Mrs. Mi has the courage? Do you dare? Raise your sword to slaughter all of us here, and kill all of the king's bloodline! Mi, do you dare? Do you have the courage?"
Her anger burst out from her chest!
“The fox pretends to be the tiger’s power!”
“Bluff!”
“Mi, I bet you don’t dare!”
It’s not tiring to even think about Mi with your toes.
Which one of you here has no oblique relationship with the officials of the foreign court?
It’s either a daughter or a sister from this family, or a distant relative in law from that family, or even worse, someone’s adopted daughter or someone’s adopted sister!
What is the difference between the children who really kill the light and the children who kill them. What is the difference between a complete break from the high foreign court? Still want to escape unscathed? Don’t you really think that by killing all the descendants of Wu Xian who are not descendants of the Mi family, the position of leader of the country will fall to her son?
The heir who is not recognized by the civil and military officials is nothing!
They could even completely deny the bloodline of Mi's son, arrange several lovers for Mi, and then let the lovers serve as witnesses. As long as everyone says that these lovers were good during Mi's dancing period, and they will continue to be disconnected after that, and even Wu Xian was cuckolded. Who can prove that Mi's son is Wu Xian's son?
Let Wu Xian fly back from the Kangguo camp to prove it?
Or some ridiculous blood test?
No, what matters is not the truth!
The important thing is that Mi and her son will die miserably!
For a time, the atmosphere was tense and tense to the critical point.
Everyone is waiting for Mi's reaction.
Unexpectedly, she just smiled.
The laughter ranged from light to heavy, from small to loud, and even had a bit of madness and indulgence. From a close distance, you could still see the rolling dots of her eyes. She burst into tears laughing. It took a long time for Mi to stop. She dabbed the water stains at the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with her cheeks sore and swollen: "You don't dare to bet? Do you know what gambling is? It's not just opening your mouth and holding a piece of it." Sharp fragments are considered gambling. When a real gambler comes to the gambling table, who doesn’t put his hands and feet on it?”
Among the people, there are too many such gamblers.
After Mi finished speaking, she pulled out the sword hidden under the table in a panic, and approached the opponent step by step, but the opponent was retreating steadily.
"Don't expect to come down intact after you go to the gambling table!" Mi, who looked fragile, was holding the sword extremely steadily at the moment. The older concubine recalled a certain detail at an inappropriate time. Mi was dancing with a sword on a drum. After catching Wu Xian's eyes, she held the sword firmly, "It's just one life, do you really think it's a bargaining chip? How do you know that I can't afford to gamble or lose?"
It’s not that you’re ruthless enough to kill everyone, let alone that you’re afraid of death.
As early as the fourth son told her that she would risk her life for a "beng", when the second son told her that she could understand the fourth brother, and when she realized that she didn't understand her own flesh and blood at all, she didn't care about anything. These children are the spiritual support that has sustained her through these years and are the whole world for her.
When her spiritual pillar collapsed, her world completely collapsed!
What's the point of living if her flesh and blood are dead?
Kill all these people, and she will be torn apart by the angry ministers tomorrow; if she doesn’t kill, her son can fulfill his long-cherished wish, but what happens after doing so? How many of them, mother and son, can withstand Kang Guo's cavalry? Can it stop the demise of Gaoguo? Nothing can be done!
The final outcome is death.
The outcome was doomed the moment her son became ambitious!
The difference is only in the morning and in the evening!
so-
Mi looked at the snow-white Hibiscus face on the edge of the sword, smiling as softly as ever: "Are you shaking?"
哐丁!
The pieces of the porcelain plate in the concubine's hand fell to the ground and exploded into three pieces.
Mishi lowered his eyes for a moment, and then held on for a few breaths before taking back his sword.
“Musicians, keep playing!”
The palace, which had been quiet for a long time, once again sounded elegant music.
However, this time there was no excitement of changing cups and cups. Instead, there was only panic and inability to eat, worrying about one's own situation and the whereabouts of the children. No one dared to act rashly, and they could only endure it while sitting stiffly, especially since they could clearly feel the ground shaking from time to time, metal collisions mixed with shouts of death, sometimes far away, sometimes close, and several firelights reflected outside the window...
They could recognize that this was a battle between warriors.
This is the inner court, but the sounds of fighting can be heard.
Everyone clearly expected what happened at this moment.
“It’s a palace coup, there are rebels who want to seize the palace!”
Mishi spoke abruptly and gave the answer.
One doubt is solved, and another confusion arises.
Who are the rebels Mi mentioned?
The concubine, whose child is now grown or close to adulthood, closes her eyes in despair and prays in her heart that the child is not her own. They did not blame their children for doing this, but they were worried that if they met the well-prepared Mi family, they would have little chance of winning and their lives would be in vain.
This answer came to fruition very quickly.
The minister who was about to receive the news rushed over and was stopped by the imperial army.
“My lords, please rest assured, the traitors have been captured!”
“Who is the traitor?”
The Imperial Guard was obviously told: "It's the Fifth Young Master."
The fifth son who supervises the country bribed the guards in the outer court, but when he entered the inner court, he was stopped by the loyal men and horses, and the two sides started a fierce conflict. As soon as the ministers heard this, they knew what the fifth prince was going to do. They wanted to take the lead and kill the young prince who was about to succeed him before the morning court meeting! With such explosive palace secrets, he even lost his face to kill his younger brother to seize the throne.
The minister asked worriedly: "What about the fifth young master?"
The Imperial Guard said: "I have been captured, and the inner court is safe."
The Fifth Young Master caught everyone off guard, and the other brothers who were thoughtful or prepared to take action were all shocked!
Since there was no news from the inner court, they thought that the reason why the rebellion was suppressed so quickly was definitely because of the back-up force left by their old father Wu Xian! Lao Wu is trying to scare the snake, but if he takes action again, he is seeking death.
No matter how unwilling I am, I can only endure it.
bearing it through the night.
